Up – Here notes are played in ascending order (i.e. rising in pitch). If notes are added, the number of
notes in the sequence will grow but remain in ascending order. For example, you may start by holding
down a first note - E3 - then quickly add two more notes - C3 and G3. The resulting arpeggio will be
C3, E3 and G3.
Down – This Mode is similar to Up Mode, but notes play in descending order (e.g. G3, E3, C3).
Up/Down – This arpeggio Mode starts by playing notes in ascending order. Then, after reaching
the highest note, the notes descend towards the lowest note, which plays once before the arpeggio
rises again and stops before reaching the lowest note. This means that when the pattern repeats, the
lowest note only plays once.
Played – Here notes are kept repeated in whatever order they were played.
Random – In this Mode, the order of the chord notes is randomised indefinitely.
Chord – All notes are played back on every rhythmic step (see Arp Rate). This makes playing fast
chords very easy.
Mutate – This mode creates its own notes and adds them to the arpeggio by turning the knob under
the label ‘Mutation’. Just turn this knob to alter your arpeggio in unexpected ways. The pot itself
goes from ‘gentle’ (left) to ‘crazy’ (right) – i.e. 25% left will add subtle variation to your arpeggio,
while 99% right will give you very unexpected results. When you’re happy with what you hear, stop
turning the knob. The notes are then set and will repeat indefinitely.
3.5.3 Arp Rates
These options specify the speed of the arpeggiated notes. Since each note is played immediately
after the end of the previous one, a shorter rate (eg. 1/32) will play an arpeggio faster than longer
one (e.g. 1/4).
Rate options are common musical note values: quarter (1⁄4), eighth (1/8), sixteenth (1/16) and thirty-
second (1/32) notes. To change the Arp Rate, press and hold the Arp button, and then press the key
